When questioned about the release Of

Baseball Personalities.
Well, the boys played good game

only one error, that ala rot cost anything.

four put outs and nine assists, We got a
good 'un when we got him.
SO Shaw has been suspended without pay.

shadow" The other saved us q white.
wash by bringing In Dealy.
Donnelly and Dealy made creditablc cN.
ertions to steal bases. DOunelly is inclined
TO get absent minded at times aud does not
always make the most OF his chances. When
he sees the pitchers elbow come back OF
his body in delivering the ball he should
make his dash. His fault is in waiting
until the ball actually leaves the pitchers
hand.
Captain Daily was rather severely cen.
sufed yesterday for not designating who
should take the two easy files that fell near
second base when Myers, Dcaly aud Hines
ran for them. Either Dealy or Mycr-
should have taken them, but Hines ran 10
and they had ID get out OF the way. The
run was too long for Hines aud he should
not have attempted 1t.
Shoch's release was a foregone conclu-
sion rs soon as Daily showed hi1 good work
al the bat and his creditable performances
/ in the field
Reating, late of the Washingtons, has
gone West TO join the Baltimore Club.
